A Little on the Side

I don’t like boring food. There I have said it. Publicly confessed my secret shame. Spending 16 years married to a man who thought mushroom gravy on his chops was the height of daring can really do your head in. I used to flee to my Mother-In-Law’s place to share a stirfry and sympathy. Ah well, times have changed and my family share my passion for adventures.

This blog started its life as a chunk of data for my Beloved to work the arcane magic he calls “Web Development”. Through several incarnations (and many, many re-edits), my ramblings about food, plants, herb-lore and stuff have sort of .. grown. So I bid you welcome to my garden, my kitchen and my workshop. Take a load off, sip some tea and bide a while.
